Canadian Forces training excercise

Don’t be alarmed if you see helicopters landing in downtown Hamilton.

It’s part of Canadian Forces training.

The choppers from 4-27 Special Operations Aviation Squadron will take place between 8 and midnight tonight and tomorrow.

If the training is cancelled because of weather conditions, there may be flights on Thursday.

The training will help familiarize pilots with the challenges of flying in an urban environment at night.

The helicopters will be visible, operating at a low altitude in close proximity to the Stelco tower.

They will approach the building from several directions, hover over the building for a brief period, leave and repeat .
